Cool finds! We are in northern Arizona and dig up in the old mines near Jerome and the Bradshaw Mts, we found this old bottle and cant seem to find any info on it, was found near the Peck Silver Mine in Bradshaw Mountains AZ, it has 8 sides, crude applied top, no seems, no embossing, full of bubbles and has stretch marks from below the neck, very greenish blue. I am unable to post the pic as it is too large but can send to a regular email address if anyone is willing to help, thanks and I appreciate your help!

Hey guys. I have the kodak software. Allow me . . .
This bottle is very crude. The lip is amazing and it is whittled and bubbled like crazy. From looking at it, my guess is that it contained a food product (but I wouldn't rule out some covered wagon cough syrup.)

Effingham NH. Where else?
If it's not too too invasive of privacy, I'd like very much to know the value of those two blue beauties.
Particularly the USA Hosp. Dept....

Star, I am fine, and you?

IF both respond well to cleaning I would say $600-$1000 on the USA and $300-$400 on the ink.The ink will be very hard to clean.

These are referred to as spice bottles and are typically Western.I'd date that one to the 1860's.That one is really crude,nice find
